We have how many shots?

Something that many gamers will not consider will be how many sessions the game will last. Most of the time, a game will run over multiple gaming sessions. These will be referred to as campaigns. However, at times an entire game session could resolve the entire game. This will be known as a one-shot. Most campaigns will allow the players to develop their abilities in multiple ways. In DnD, if…

You got belief

Something that is important yet overlooked in most games and stories is that people must reposition where they are and who they are for the purpose of the story. This will happen every time that they go watch some show, movie, read a book, or play any game. Of all these the time that it will be most valuable will be during the gaming. This transposition will be commonly referred to as suspension…

Where am I?

A quick aside that might be a great way t bring the PCs together would be to have some outside benefactors gather a bunch of beings that they think might be able to deal with some challenge they are anticipating in the future. This benefactor will put the characters through either solo or group trials, if not both. Will the recruits know about this? While the most likely answer for this that…

Who am I?

Whenever players are thinking of starting a new TTRPG, there is one question that they will consider. This will be if they are going to work from characters generated ahead of time or create their own from scratch. Those players will always prefer to take one over the other, even when the advantages of the other exceed what the other will be. So, I am pregenerated. One of the quickest and…

Show the Contract

Even though every role-playing game will come with its own unique set of rules that dictate what will happen and when and how, there will always be some set of rules that is unique among the group. This set of rules will not be able to be written into the rules by the designers, even though every person will agree to be bound by these rules regardless if they are aware of this or not. These rules…

Name your Danger, I have something for everyone

At the core of every successful game will be some form of challenge.

Something that everyone requires is someplace that they can call home. This could be as simple as the city that the person lives in or more complex, such as a resident address. That address could be a small, one room apartment or a fancy, large mansion. Regardless of the nature of this place, the way that it gets utilized will determine what it becomes. If this address were to become some…

You are wanting what for that?
